#LikeALocal. A free Entry event held every year in Ottery St Mary, East Devon. The Flaming Tar Barrels are carried through the streets of the town to the delight of thousands of townsfolk and visitors, something that has become very well known throughout the years.
Ottery St. Mary is internationally renowned for its Tar Barrels – the event is said to have originated in the 17th century, and is held each year. Each of Ottery’s central public houses sponsors a single barrel. Held on November 4th, the barrels are soaked with tar and are lit outside each of the pubs in turn and once the flames begin to pour out, they are hoisted up onto local people’s backs and shoulders.

"Cannot recommend enough superb in all aspects very quiet area away from busy lives. Very clean everything you need for a perfect stay plus extra personal touches from the host ie fresh flowers and home made cakes. Lots of walks nearby and loved seeing the sheep and chickens every morning when you wake up."

"We were welcomed by the owner, she is extremely lovely and kind. She took time to show us round, explaining how to use the log burner and hot tub. We had an issue while there with the Wi-Fi not working and she responded to us straight away and sorted it for us very quickly. The lodge itself is beautiful and spacious. The hot tub is amazing, and the view across the lake is even more amazing. It is within driving distance of lots of places, and a supermarket to buy groceries. Overall an amazing...

"We had a fabulous time at Willow Lodge. Jill was the perfect host. Great communication and very responsive. Check in and checkout went smooth as silk. Will always remember the the great view from the back porch and the ultra-soothing hot tub."

"We had a lovely stay at Apple Blossom highly recommend it to anyone that wants to get away and enjoy the peace and quiet in a remote location . The views were stunning and the location was quiet all we could hear were the birds . Our little dog enjoyed it too as she could roam around as it was all closed in . Looking forward to staying again in the near future . The flapjacks and fresh bread was a nice touch"

"This cottage is really lovely. Great location, nice host and has everything needed for a holiday. The pub in the village is a minutes walk and serves nice food - what more coul you want. We stayed in November but I would like to visit in spring or summer as the garden looks a great place to sit and have a glass of wine."

5/5 Excellent

"Stayed in a single room with shared bathroom for one night. The bathrooms were never occupied which was good. Facilities were good and clean, staff were friendly and the breakfast was great! Good price too and so close to the station made it convenient. I would stay again :). "

"Exeter court hotel has recently undergone a renovation of its bedrooms. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Although near a major road there is very little noise from the road. I would recommend a stay here. It’s very easy to reach many parts of Devon by car."
